Harlan Arliss is a mechanic for the California Highway Patrol at their Central Los Angeles headquarters.

His life-long dream is to be a CHP...but he's two inches short of the height requirement. ("Peaks and Valleys") He is 5' 3 7/8" tall and when the LAPD lowered their height requirement, he almost became an officer, but his eyes weren't good enough. ("Fallout")

Harlan has a dog named Dave, a former drug sniffing police dog.

Harlan has his mom buy his shoes because he has small feet. ("Anything But The Truth") He has a talent for siphoning gasoline out of state vehicles. He also beat Getraer at chess. Grossie would have beaten him at chess if he didn't knock over the board in "The Game of War".

In one episode, Harlan's personal information was shown on a malfunctioning computer screen. It listed his license number as #Z9023741. He lived at 9246 Beech Drive, Los Angeles, California 90222. (No such address actually exists.) He had 10 moving violations, including 03-17-79, 06-22-80, 09-13-80, and 10-21-80.
